To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EVA Hanru'. a citizen of the United States, residing at Elwood. in

the county of Madison and State of Indiana.

have invented certain new and useful lmrovenients in Envelops, of which the foll owing is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to improvements 1n envelops and more particularly those foif use in mailing small objects or articles.

One object of the invention is to provide a device of this, character having two sepa rate pockets Ior compartments, one to receive written or printed matter and the other to ieeeive sina ler objects or articles. the latter compartment having a reinforcing lining;r

i ed to provide the compartment fi while the whereby said'articles will be prevented from bre king through the envelop.

further ob ect of the invention is tor-iinprote and s i y 4 velops of this character and thereby render the same stronger. and more durable and convenient in use.

'liith'tlie `above and other object'sin view. thil invention consists in the features of iioveltv hereinafter described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. iii 'which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my iinproved envelop looking toward its rear side; Fig. 2 is a vertical section; Fig. 3 is a hori zontal or longitudinal section; and Fi 4 and 5 aril plan views of the two blanks which the envelop is ii'iade.

My improved envelop consists of a front l, a back 2, a ceiimil partition 3 which forms .between the parts l, 2 twocompartiients 4, 5, and two flaps (i, i for closing the open ends ofthe two coinpartincnts 4, 5. Upon reference to Fig. 2 it will be seen that the partition 3 forms a common inner wall for the two compartments 'which latter are closed upon three ofv theirsides and have their fourth open sides or ends opening'at op site ends of the envelop.

referably make it form shownin Eiga. 4 and 5. The blank H forms the back 2, the partition B and the flap andswhen folded upon itself is itdaptblank 9 forms the front 1 and the Hap (i, and when attached to the..blank 8 provides the compartment Said blanks may bel is constructed. are folded around the ends oi lify the construction of cuom f lfliile the envelop may be constructed in X any" suitable mannerl I l formed of l paper or any other suitable niaterial, but when the compartment 4 is in- Ltcnded to receive small articles which are liable to break through ordinary paper the blank 8 is made of very heavy Vaper, fabi-ie. or the lil et or. as shown ii. t e drawings. of two se arate pieces or sheets, namel f, a papel' slidet l() and a fabric sheet 11. ,sheets ina v be glued or otherwise united and when the envelop is formed the inner fabric sheet 11. forms a reinforcing lining for the pocket or compartment 5. "hen the'blank 8 is constructedof two sheets or layers in this inanner, the fabric sheet 11 is formed at the ends of the portion 3 of tht` blank with flaps l?, which, when the envelop Tese.

'upon reference to Fjg. 3. U on the blank I "9 is also formed n llap 14 iv :ich is folded inwardly and glued upon the artition 3 to i close the bottom or inner en of the conil'partment 4, as shown in Fig. 2. By con striicting the .envelop of two blanks `it will f tie-seen that the one which forms the article i receivin compartment or pocket maiy be l made o hcav strong und durable material or of a suitaliil7 reinforced material, while the other one which forms the pocket or compartment 5 for written or printed inatter may be made of comparatively' light paper or similar material. Thile Ythe flapsl or closures may be secured in thi-iiclosed. .itions inany suitable manner, l prefera I v provide upon their inner faces at their ed es gum or other adhesive material 15 i lich enables them to be readily sealed.

Having thus described my invention what claim and desire to Secure by Letters Pat'- ent. is: Y l An envelo i for mailing articles and papersl composed oi two blanks, one blank'bein'g composed of layers of paper and fabric cemented together and cnt; and folded to provide the partition 3, the back 2 on noni` of the longitudinal edges of said partition. the sealing lap 7 on the opposite longitudi nal edge of the v:saine antl'tlis end lla is l2 g on the end edges of said part g portion of said blank `forinii'i i i receive and retain small artic es, the other blank being formed of paper and having the front 1. the sealing flap G on one of its lonl gitudinal. edges and the llaps 13, 13, 14,011
